Two states, one platform
BAM began as an idea two cofounders shared across a state line — Idaho and Washington — and grew into a patented biometric-awareness training platform. Spatial computing finally made it real.
An idea shared across a state line
It started as a conversation between two people who couldn't stop returning to the same question: what if you could see your inner state the way you see the world around you? Gonzalo De La Torre in Eagle, Idaho and Marianna Budnikova in Seattle, Washington kept building on that idea across the miles — turning a shared instinct into a working concept, then into protected intellectual property, then into a platform. BAM is the result: the science of awareness, made personal.
BAM began with an issued US patent and grew into a working closed-loop platform across three modes.
The two people behind BAM
Two cofounders, two cities, one shared conviction — that physiological awareness should be measurable, trainable, and yours.
Gonzalo De La Torre
Cofounder · Eagle, Idaho. Co-architect of the closed-loop method at the heart of BAM — the patented track, evaluate, deliver, and re-measure cycle that turns raw biometrics into a training experience you can feel.
Marianna Budnikova
Cofounder · Seattle, Washington. Co-architect of BAM's biometric-awareness system, shaping how the platform reads the body and reflects it back through the four-state color scale across Wellness, Therapy, and Performance.
One shared platform
Idaho and Washington, working in lockstep. What two cofounders sketched out together became a single patented system — and Apple Vision Pro became the canvas that brought the inner picture to life.
How a conversation became a closed loop
TrackApple Watch and iPhone read your live signals through HealthKit — heart rate, breath, and movement, captured the moment they happen.
EvaluateBAM places those signals on a four-state color scale — green, yellow, orange, red — so your inner state has a shape you can actually see.
Adaptive deliveryThe platform meets you where you are, adjusting the spatial experience on Apple Vision Pro to guide you toward your intended state.
Re-measureIt reads you again and closes the loop — the patented cycle the cofounders set out to build, now running in real time around your body.
The language we patented
At the core of BAM is a four-state color scale that gives your physiology a shared vocabulary — from parasympathetic baseline to high activation. It is the most protected element of our work, secured under US Patent 12,109,041 B2, issued October 8, 2024 — four years after the idea first crossed the state line.
